Look. I wasn't even completely serious about it being pointless or a mistake. I was just exaggerating my frustration.Hm, well fwiw I started the thread because I enjoy exploring ethical dilemmas. The handful of threads that I've introduced in this vein have been ignored, so I was kind of happy that people actually contributed to this one. I want to hear different viewpoints, explore them, and hopefully learn something. I don't think that there has to be a specific point to most threads so long as they're not designed to antagonize. Knowing how other people view the world (including their ethical frameworks) via any particular facet, such as this case, is a reward in and of itself to me. Personal attacks are an unfortunate side-effect of people having very strong beliefs. I don't endorse those attacks, but I'm not going to let the possibility deter me from posing questions that interest me to the forums. So thank you everyone who contributed thus far and yes let's please treat each other with respect even if we don't agree.
Can we all take a step back, please? I understand that this is an emotive issue but needling, arguing, name calling etc isn't going to help things. Let's all cool off.
Shut it, California!No name calling? What a loser!
Shut it, California!

You're just pissed that it has rained 74 days in a row in your town.
Actually, we've been having unseasonably warm and sunny weather!
Awesome! Enjoy it.
3 years house arrest followed by another 1-3 probation.Bets on the actual sentence?
I think his fame gave him some reassurance that he wouldn't get caught. Famous people don't have the anonymity to hide their sexual fetishes like anyone else who gets off on weird shit. Instead, it seems as if their fame allows them to act like they can get away with anything.I can’t help but to wonder why. I would have thought he could get laid whenever off the fame alone. Did he really just get a rush from totally incapacitating someone to where they had no ability to resist?
